Purpose: The purpose of the ADA Foundation Emergency Disaster Grant Program is to provide a small measure of immediate financial assistance to eligible dentists (as defined in these guidelines) who are victims of a disaster. A disaster is defined as a "sudden occurrence which inflicts widespread catastrophic damage to a large geographic area and/or which generally affects a large number of individuals." Disasters can be both natural and caused by human conduct. Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: civil disorders (excluding acts of war), explosions, fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, wildfires, hurricanes, ice storms, and similar natural disasters.
Eligibility Requirements: Any dentist who is a victim of a disaster may apply to the ADA Foundation for a grant.

Last year's ADA Foundation Give Kids A Smile 10th Anniversary Gala was a great success. With the help of nearly 600 attendees and support from our corporate sponsors, the ADA Foundation was able to generate total revenue (in excess of expenses) of approximately $82,000. In addition, $100,000 that had been designated by the GKAS Advisory Committee to support the Gala was not needed for the event. This brings the total economic benefit to support the GKAS program to $182,000. These dollars will go directly to support Give Kids A Smile programs nationwide. Thanks to all of you who were involved in making the 2012 event successful.
